In this episode I talk to Tom Griffen an adventurer, endurance athlete, writer, and artist. We talk about the life lessons he's learned from his adventures. How writing allows him to express himself and the freedom that brings. How nature gives back to him in so many ways, that can benefit anyone. 

As a long-time runner and former National Director of Training at Fleet Feet, he’s tackled grueling feats like walking across America in 2018 and thru‑hiking both the Appalachian and Arizona Trails. His writing—covering travel, self-awareness, and the art of trail life—appears on his WordPress blog and his Substack titled “With a Good Heart”, where he blends reflections on hiking, creativity, and endurance. He also carves wooden spoons as a creative outlet and hosts workshops and coaching around storytelling, kindness, and adventure.
